in to escape the drenching rain. The thun-
der rolled and the lightning was pretty
lively, but above the roar of the storm came
a new, strange sound, like the roar of
artillery, and frightful rumbling and
shaking of the earth. Looking from the cot
tage windows, on either side, they saw the
appalling sight of a torrent of black foam
ing water, thick with mud, rocks, heritage
and splintered trees, and all raging by them
with fearful velocity. There was no posi-
BILE chance Of escape from the house. even If
they had desired it, but before they realized
their safety or the extent of the danger they
had escaped the avalanche had passed on
and after brief dying away of the noise of
the disturbed masses they were surrounded
only by the rain-stOrm, as before.

The Mount Mansfield Slide.

The latest slide, which occurred during
the terrific rain-storm Of Friday, the Sd in
slant, was of greater magnitude than either
of the others, and of great significance as il
reached the valley below and would, but for
the interpositiOn of merciful providence,
have been mighty engine OF destruction.
The mountain is more nearly perpendicular
on the Cambridge side than elsewhere and
the slide is on the most nearly perpendicu-
lar part of it, the distance being from the
foot TO the summit a sCant three miles. The
slide covers more than half this distance, is
from one hundred to five hundred rods wide
and from twenty to forty feet deep, There
are various theories as to what started it,
but it is attributed by some to the bursting
of a stOrm-cloud ON the mountain 1t oc-

and began and ended inside of ten minutes
On this part OF the mountain the vegetation
is rank the trees standing seventy to eighty
feet high, and even higher. The under
growth, too, is dense, for so steep is the in
cline that no woodman ever ventured there.
Mighty rocks and powders, weighing hun
dreds of tons, abounded too. Imagine then,
the scene created by the slide, this miracle
play of nature" The rocks went shooting

Some important changes are now taking
place in the drinking habits of several
great countries. China. for example. ha;
just ordered IL lot OF bottled beer for the
use Of the sailors who man her lately
acquired fleet Of ironclads. Japan not to
be behind her ancient rival, has sent II
professor of Toxic university to Europe
for the purpose of ''sampling" the various
kinds of beer that Germany produces.
Thence he will go to England and ON his
return to Japan his imperial majesty. the
emperor. will issi,e a decree to establish
beer rs the national drink. This action is
taken on account OF the vicious habit of
gin tiprling which has recently obtained I,
foothotl in Japan. IN England. too. the
consumption Of beer is on the increase
whereas the British bill for liquor j.
smaller this year than it has been for q;

With the Usual Result.

The marshal and his deputies made
another raid on East Bountiful yester-
day afternoon, ARRIVING there at about
. 80 O'Clock. and surrounding the meet
ing-house, where the quarterly confer
ence of the Davis County Stake was
being held. When the worshipers
emerged from the church each face was
eagerly scanned, but. even with the help
of the local celebrity known as Stephen
Hales, they were unable to apprehend
anyone for whom they had warrants.
A number of persons were stopped, but
with the usual result.
After the meeting had been adjourned
and the attendants had all gone home,
the officers applied for permission to go
through the house, which was granted
them, and they then made thorough
search, but with nothing more than the
usual result.
